Pop star Ariana Grande is facing backlash for her recent comments about serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, with the families of his victims expressing outrage. Shirley Hughes, the mother of Dahmer’s victim Tony Hughes, criticized Grande for calling Dahmer her dream dinner date, calling her “sick in her mind.” She emphasized the pain these remarks cause and urged Grande to apologize for glamorizing a monstrous figure.
The controversy began after Grande’s appearance on a podcast where she discussed her fascination with serial killers and mentioned Dahmer as someone she found “fascinating.” Many found her comments highly inappropriate, especially in light of her reflection on her past experiences in the entertainment industry.
Grande also opened up about her time on Nickelodeon shows like “Victorious” and “Sam & Cat,” admitting she is reprocessing her memories and confronting unsettling elements from her time on set. She acknowledged that some of the humor and innuendos on the show may not have been appropriate.
The families of Dahmer’s victims feel Grande’s comments are insensitive and have called for her to apologize. They hope that Grande’s remarks will serve as a lesson to her fanbase that such statements are unacceptable. The controversy has reignited discussions about the intersection of true crime fascination and appropriate boundaries when discussing heinous crimes.
